When would I notice symptoms.

Question

Hi,
I just need some help on this one.  Basically I was taking the pills for 3 years which I stopped taking in November, I then started a new pill in March and had my last period which finished on 29th March, the pill I was taking in March did not agree with me in that it gave me spots, didnt help my periods etc.  I therefore was due to start a different pill for April which I did not do as the chemist didnt have it in stock!  I then had unprotected sex on 3rd April, is there a chance I could be pregnant?  And if so, when do you think I would start to notice pregnancy symptoms?  My nexy period is not due until about 23rd April.  My periods have always been regular.  x

If you have missed pills your cycle may be mucked up and you may not get your period when you expect it anyway.

I would advise testing in about a week maybe 10 days.

People ovulate and fall pregnant around two weeks before they are due to have a period so this is when the hcg levels would show up in your urine.

Although I have been gettin white discharge this week which isnt norm for me in between periods etc.  Would this relate or not?  Im just so confused and really trying not to think too much about it in case it does delay my period due at the end of the month. x

Well I dont really have no symptoms at the moment, my stomach feels bit weird but that prob nothing although I am tired and peeing more than usual.  Im not really sure if I am preg or not...just confused. x

I had very sore nipples maybe 2 er 3 weeks after I concieved.
And I was a bad case of nausea up until the week before I hit my second trimester.
That's the only symptoms I remember having till I found out I was pregnant.
I didn't find out I was pregnant till I was almost 7 weeks pregnant though.

Thank you for your response.  It cleared things up for me...I guess ill wait until 23rd or a few days after and see what happens.  x

If you're due for AF on the 23rd, you could try testing on the 20th.......Then wait for AF...if nothing, test around 4/25 or so.....

I have been pregnant 2x (1st ended in M/C?) and this time I'm only 4 weeks 6 days....not many symptoms.....heavy/sore breasts this time around...that's it so far.....I wouldn't think that you would notice any symptoms until at least 4 weeks or futher.......

Also wouldnt the bleeding have been my period as we had unprotected sex although we had sex the week before my period but during that time I was on the pill?  Im just thinking that perhaps the pill has not protected me fully as I had only started it again in March? x

I actually took my pills in march (although i may have taken some late), I had my period which finished on 29th March which was when I was due to take the pill again but I didnt and 5/6 after my period I had unprotected sex. Im so confused. x

Well i had very sore nipples around a week after i concieved but i didnt worry about this as i was on the pill and it went away after about a week so i continued as normal, drinking, smoking the lot.

It wasnt until about 5/6 weeks later that i found out i was pregnant.

I had had (apart from the sore nipples) NO symptoms whatsoever until i found out.

You should test in about a week or so.

Even though you have bleeding once a month on the pill this is a withdrawal bleed and not a true period,

If you miss pills ovulation can happen and you may fall pregnant.

I took my pill at the same time every day until i was 6/7 weeks pregnant and as far as i can remember around the time of conception i had no sickness and was not on antibiotics at the time either. As i had no periods i dont even have any dates to go by so can only date my pregnancy by the estimated dates on the scan x

Congrates 2 u! 

So if I was when do you think I should start feeling symptoms?  Thanks for your help!  x

chitten · Answer

Yes.

If you miss a pill you could be pregnant.

I was on the pill and had to change it to another type in september, i hadnt had periods in almost a year. I never missed a single pill but found out in dec i was 6/7 weeks PG. Im now 20 weeks 3 days with a little girl.
